Our Columbus Correspondent furnishes us with the following report of a speech delivered in the House of Representatives, by Mr. Kingsbury, of Stark county: 6 rr.A,1 S.1'kakf"r!I r'8e to a question of order! Iho Whig party duren the Inst ten years had power two times in this rotunda. Many times, Mr. Speaker, when the sun has looked green behind the clouds, some Whig has started up, Mr. Speaker, and put his hand upon Banks. The currency question Mr. Speaker, is a tangent! monopolizing the great necessities of both causes. I warn the Whigs, Mr. Speaker, in this rotunda, whila they have power in this dominion, to stand by their brethren on the very scales of Jupiter, and assist me to bring down the satellites of vengence on this cantankerous dilemma. No nation has prospered, Mr. Speaker, since Gen. Scott took the Carthageneans on the banks of Waterloo, and met his fate like a dying Cannibal ! Jo-sephus informs us, that Banks swallowed up antiquity in streams of burning lava ! and Tacitus, Mr. Speaker, the Egyptian Hero, drinks at the satno fountain! I warn this Bank Bill, as long as Rome has a Hannibal to defend Us ramparts, that we shall all find a speedy grave under this silacious Monster! But, Mr. Speaker, I rose to refrigerate you that the Ilouso is out of order. Ten years has passed away, like evening shadows, and these whigs has been in majorities twice ; and nobody believes this Unnk Bill can ever touch the bottom of tho Gulf of Chimbornzo. Gentlemen may laugh at the burning words, but I toll gentlemen, the Democrats, as true as Mountebanks, follows after them with sharp-sticks. I warn you gentlemen, by the love of innate glory, never to commit suicide on this motion. Don't you hear it thunder, Mr. Speaker ! The clouds of eternal vengeanco sweat over your tin-pan constructions, and Hail and Fire, Blood and Banks, buret upon our astonished vision ! The pomposities of all the ful-cruins of perpetual circulation law instilled into this horror-struck monstrosody, all the elements of perpetual magnetism, and the down-trodden poor of all ages will bless the minority in this General Assembly.I move, therefore, Mr. Speaker, this dying injunction to all sober men, that the Whig party is dead and buried. Weep ! weep ! your salty tears on the dying tomb of everlasting greatness ! I raise my voice like an earthquake, and exort my copatriots to strike for blushing liberty ! This majority was gained by a single blow of their gastrick leader, who sits on the shades of Ashland, like a dying mummy pulling down Kingdoms to the idols of retributive motion. Air. Speak er my lungs pive up under this ex alt ed nro nn t i r close to warn this rotunda while life and groans and ... ...wpo.y in em, i am eternBiiy against this Boa Con- stridor of Kellev'a.

Our Columbus Correspondent furnishes us with the following report of a speech delivered in the House of Representatives, by Mr. Kingsbury, of Stark county: 6 rr.A,1 S.1'kakf"r!I r'8e to a question of order! Iho Whig party duren the Inst ten years had power two times in this rotunda. Many times, Mr. Speaker, when the sun has looked green behind the clouds, some Whig has started up, Mr. Speaker, and put his hand upon Banks. The currency question Mr. Speaker, is a tangent! monopolizing the great necessities of both causes. I warn the Whigs, Mr. Speaker, in this rotunda, whila they have power in this dominion, to stand by their brethren on the very scales of Jupiter, and assist me to bring down the satellites of vengence on this cantankerous dilemma. No nation has prospered, Mr. Speaker, since Gen. Scott took the Carthageneans on the banks of Waterloo, and met his fate like a dying Cannibal ! Jo-sephus informs us, that Banks swallowed up antiquity in streams of burning lava ! and Tacitus, Mr. Speaker, the Egyptian Hero, drinks at the satno fountain! I warn this Bank Bill, as long as Rome has a Hannibal to defend Us ramparts, that we shall all find a speedy grave under this silacious Monster!

I warn you gentlemen, by the love of innate glory, never to commit suicide on this motion. Don't you hear it thunder, Mr. Speaker ! The clouds of eternal vengeanco sweat over your tin-pan constructions, and Hail and Fire, Blood and Banks, buret upon our astonished vision ! The pomposities of all the ful-cruins of perpetual circulation law instilled into this horror-struck monstrosody, all the elements of perpetual magnetism, and the down-trodden poor of all ages will bless the minority in this General Assembly.I move, therefore, Mr. Speaker, this dying injunction to all sober men, that the Whig party is dead and buried. Weep ! weep ! your salty tears on the dying tomb of everlasting greatness ! I raise my voice like an earthquake, and exort my copatriots to strike for blushing liberty ! This majority was gained by a single blow of their gastrick leader, who sits on the shades of Ashland, like a dying mummy pulling down Kingdoms to the idols of retributive motion. Air.
